Flooring Systems, Inc. v. Radisson Group, Inc.

Supreme Court of Arizona

772 P.2d 578 (1989)

Relevant factsFree

Flooring Systems (plaintiff) installed $59,000 of carpet for Radisson Group (defendant) under a subcontract with Radisson's general contractor but was never paid, while Radisson withheld $25,000 owed to that same general contractor because of the unpaid debt. After the general contractor went bankrupt and was dismissed from the case, the trial court granted summary judgment to Radisson and its agent CSA, reasoning that the existence of a valid subcontract barred Flooring's unjust-enrichment claim, and the court of appeals affirmed.

IssueFree

Whether a subcontractor may recover against a property owner for unjust enrichment if a valid subcontract existed between the subcontractor and the general contractor.
